Today I learned that every time I safe during an edit session I have to keep the message(s) I made the last time I safed. Otherwise only my last comment will be kept. And I safed quite often with detailed information why I did what. Until I discovered my mistake. That is frustrating. Encouraging is that others have small questions as well and get detailed answers.

It’s great that you try to make changeset comments. Many forget it. But usually it’s enough to add some general info, like the region you’re editing, if it’s based on survey, a free dataset, personal knowledge, …
But after all, changeset comments aren’t the most important. They just help with finding back what you did (so you or someone else can check it again). The data is the most important.

OK, now I feel better. Sorry for that :D
There’s nothing wrong in making verbose changeset comments, a lot better than no comments :)
But, what do you mean by “to keep the messages” and “my last comment will be kept”? Sorry, I don’t understand it.

‘When you save it says how many changes you made. When I stay locked in the next time I save is still the same session. So the text I wrote as comment the last time is highlighted. And I shouldn’t delete it because than I wouldn’t have needed to write it in the first place. But ad info what I did instead. It’s hard to describe and I’m still so unsure about how things work here.
